  It seems to be the case as tonight's episode has recorded and plays back fine (on the SD channel) :doublethumbsup:

2. BBC3 or BBC4 won't record after re-tune
  
  Does that mean it fixes itself after the first few recordings then?

3. BBC3 or BBC4 won't record after re-tune
  
  So, it's a random bug in the Hummy s/w and there's no fix? Would another re-tune make any difference ?

4. BBC3 or BBC4 won't record after re-tune
  
  Thanks, that's fixed it :) But why does it only seem to be these two channels that the Hummy messes the flags up on? Would decrypting the recordings also fix the problem?

  It records for the full duration but on playback just displays the scrambled error. I've seen the thread you linked to but that seemed to be related to the custom firmware but I'm running the standard 1.03.12

  Mendip transmitter. Since doing the necessary re-tune on 3rd Sept my Hummy won't record BBC3 & BBC4 - neither SD or HD - on timer, but if I hit Record whilst watching the channel then it records OK. Worked fine before the re-tune. The error is "The channel is scrambled or not available"...

9. Is BBC4 HD not available on Mendip?
  
  Just done a re-tune as Film4 (and a couple of others) were showing nothing in the EPG. I've now got BBC3 HD (105) but not BBC4 HD. Is this not being transmitted by the Mendip transmitter?

10. Why is ITV's iPlayer so crap?
  
  I only tried it on my iPhone. Maybe it works on the larger screen of the iPad. Anyway, as with anything, if there's a dedicated app then it makes sense to use it.

11. Why is ITV's iPlayer so crap?
  
  The ISO used QuickTime as the basis for the MPEG-4 spec - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mov_file - so QT (.mov) and MPEG-4 (.mp4, .m4v) are, essentially the same. This also causes some confusion depending on what plug-in your browser uses, or what video player you use as many/most decide the file...

  True, but that's a poor example as you wouldn't want to watch the website versions of these on a mobile device - Android and Windows as well as iOS - , you'd use the dedicated app .

  Funny we should be talking about Flash. I've just gone to Adobe's website to watch a video about Premiere Elements and, as you would expect, it's uses a Flash player, but underneath it there is a link "Switch to HTML5 Beta Player" - see, even Adobe's moving to modern technology:p

  You serious? Not supporting Flash on iOS devices is a good move. Whenever my browser hangs/crashes/sucks 100+% CPU then 99 times out of 100 it's the bloody Flash plug-in. Adobe should do the decent thing and scrap it, it passed it's sell by date years ago

  True, but then you obviously have specific (and not very common, for home LANs) circumstances. Plus, if no DHCP server is available then a computer (though maybe not devices like the Hummy) should fallback to an automatic private address (169.254.x.y or something like that) so you should have an...

  I guess it would be, although I'm not sure how they manage the massive pools of IP addresses they have. Sadly I'm with BT who don't offer static IPs for residential customers which means I need to use dynamic DNS in order to access my LAN from the outside world.

  What I described isn't static - hence why I call it pseudo-static - although it has the same effect. With a true static IP the client assigns it's own IP, whereas the way I do it the client is using DHCP it's just that the router will always assign the device the same IP. This is the way you...
